Vintage Wildflowers in Watercolor: 14 Days of Painting Prompts

via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

Are you ready to challenge yourself? This class will take you through 14 painting prompts for vintage wildflowers, from loosening up and letting your brush run wild, to working with beautifully curated colors that celebrate an antiqued aesthetic, to experimenting with compositions and structure. 

So.. why a challenge?

There are 3 major benefits that you’ll experience when you participate in these exercises:

  1. The first is that you’ll be able to CREATE WITHOUT PRESSURE of coming up with ideas to combat the intimidating blank paper AND without the annoying voice in your head telling you that it needs to be perfect.
  2. As you create each prompt, you’ll get to EXPLORE NEW STYLES. That means you might open a new door for yourself to explore that you may not have otherwise considered.
  3. You’ll HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE to create every day, which just might kickstart more regularity in your creative practice. 

That’s my hope for you: to release pressure, experiment with style, and develop a creative practice with no strings attached.

Are you ready to paint some whimsical vintage wildflowers? Let’s go!
